Daisy Ridley is ready to channel her inner John McClane as the trailer for her Die Hard style action pic Cleaner is now online. The Star Wars alum hits the ground running as a former soldier turned window cleaner who must brush off her signature skill set when a madman takes over a high rise holding a gala. Bring on the butt kicking folks.
Cleaner is set in present-day London. A group of radical activists, led by Clive Owen, take over an energy company’s annual gala, seizing 300 hostages in order to expose the corruption of the hosts. Their just cause is hijacked by an extremist within their ranks, who is ready to murder everyone in the building to send his anarchic message to the world. It falls to an ex-soldier turned window cleaner, played by Daisy Ridley, suspended 50 storeys up on the outside of the building, to save those trapped inside.
Cleaner is directed by how to action helmer Martin Campbell who had seen much success with high profile projects like the James Bond films Goldeneye and Casino Royale. Coincidentally, Campbell also has another female centric military actioner named Dirty Angels launching this week. That one stars Eve Green.
Cleaner boasts a sensational supporting cast including Clive Owen (King Arthur) who is the one who goes up against Ridley’s heroic window washer. One can expect some pretty decent performances out of this one to complement the action design.
